So You Wanna Be a MEDIA RELATIONS MANAGER?

 If you are like me and you love communications, but you like to be organized and be the leader. As tasks go, you manage well. You enjoy the responsibility of people and ideas.  In a media company or other media-oriented group, there will be media personnel, writers, artists, designers, etc. However, to be successful, it not only matters what kind of communication a company has, but rather the quality and literacy of its communicators.
Enter Media Relations Manager.Not only do they have to have the most understanding of the company or business, but also work to regulate and summaries all media activities within the group. Like a jack of all trades, Media Relations Managers, in addition to formulating relationship between their company and the media, also are in charge of any media-communication that occurs. Whether it be editing writers' material, approving designs, or implementing a communications structure, it's a field of all tastes. And for eighty-five grand a year, the pay is not too shabby either.
Related to a Media Relations Manager, but more centralized to a specific field, a Managing Editor. With a position managing a small group of people with a more interconnected goal, all writers, or all freelancers, Managing Editors must make sure all publication information is accurate. Not such a difficult career, but one more driven towards print communication rather than all types. Slightly lower salary however than a Media Relations Manager, about three grand less. However for specialization in one field, that is not so much to give up, and it is probably an easier field to get into.
Not only can these careers be applied in the print section of communications, but also in television, radio, public relations, journalism, and design. Don't expect to get the job right away though, most organizations require years of experience before you make it to one of these higher up positions.
